The wheelbarrow's fallen,   look at my hands
        D                  G
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Bm                   E
   Rubbing palms and pick and choose,

who will they choose?

  Look at that building,  look at this man
D                 G
  Haloed and whitewashed

  Gone to find a cheaper hand

He'll offer a pound,
